An inverse scattering approach has been designed to process data gathered by means of forward-looking ground-penetrating radar systems. Such an inverse approach exploits a linear model of the scattering phenomenon and is able to account for the half-space 2-D geometry. In this frame, a theoretical study on the achievable reconstruction capabilities is provided with the aim to estimate the range and cross-range resolution limits and gain indications about the issue of how to design the measurement configuration. Finally, numerical and experimental examples are provided to assess the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract
An inverse scattering approach has been designed to process data gathered by means of forward-looking ground-penetrating radar systems. Such an inverse approach exploits a linear model of the scattering phenomenon and is able to account for the half-space 2-D geometry. In this frame, a theoretical study on the achievable reconstruction capabilities is provided with the aim to estimate the range and cross-range resolution limits and gain indications about the issue of how to design the measurement configuration. Finally, numerical and experimental examples are provided to assess the effectiveness of the approach.File in questo prodotto:
